George saying low teen pop, airnet says mid teens. Tide at vancouver starting to flood at 2:30. Brand new (for me) carbon fiber skimboard in my trunk... You would think that the skim and 14 T2 would be "unskunkable". Anyone going out?

Wind looking good, but how does is the tide outlook going to effect riding conditions? Since it will be rising, I'm guessing that staying upwind isn't going to be fun.

You've got better things to do. http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-10564.html http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-10586-34.html http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-5526-0.html kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Fri Sep 12, 08 9:56 am     last time I was there with the tide flowing east, 11m + glide, my light wind rig, I was barely able to stay up wind. It was still fun though.... just don't go with high expectations. sounds like it might be a good day to test that skim. I need a skim, too... hamlindp Since 09 Feb 2007 358 Posts I aint no lawnmowin' pump kite parker, I'm that dadgum Channel Marker Fri Sep 12, 08 9:56 am     Tide will switch around 4:45ish. PMB, Unsunkable? I don't know, but I'll bring my foil so I can save you if you run into trouble Oh, and airnet just lowered there expectations to a max of 12 Kyle, I think you mean South, no? _________________ (>====<|>---< pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Fri Sep 12, 08 10:24 am     Hamlin, good to know that you will be out there. One thing I really want to try is to ollie over a channel marker. (or any other thing just floating down the river). I was laying in bend last night thinking how cool it would be to bust a low kite loop with a skim. kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Fri Sep 12, 08 10:42 am     hamlindp wrote: Kyle, I think you mean South, no? i dont see the breadcrumb, i see the whole loaf. or something. hamlindp Since 09 Feb 2007 358 Posts I aint no lawnmowin' pump kite parker, I'm that dadgum Channel Marker Fri Sep 12, 08 10:55 am     pdxmonkeyboy wrote: I was laying in bend last night thinking how cool it would be to bust a low kite loop with a skim.
